Market Crash and Civil War Possible-Gregory Mannarino

Analyst/trader Gregory Mannarino says do not be fooled by the stock markets at or near all-time highs. Friday, the tech heavy NASDAQ suffered a massive selloff late in the day after hitting all-time highs. What happened? Mannarino explains, “There is no doubt that we are in financial fantasyland. It is epic. So, have we just witnessed the bursting of this bubble? It is very possible, and the reason why is because it came out of nowhere. It wasn’t driven by a geopolitical event. It wasn’t driven by a downgrade. It wasn’t driven by anything, it just happened. . . . There is going to be a moment of reckoning. If this is real. If this is an actual bursting of a bubble here, the tech bubble, we might get a follow through on Monday or we might get a bounce, and that will lead to a follow through. . . . I am telling people to watch out because the fact this came out of nowhere and driven by nothing is a big tell.”

Even if this is not a sign of a meltdown, one is baked in no matter what, according to Mannarino. Mannarino contends, “Nothing is real here . . . . You watch these financial commentators talk about this market like it is real. If it were real, the Federal Reserve would not be taking the largest part of this market for the better part of a decade now. They are artificially suppressing interest rates and creating bubbles like we have never seen. These are the worst distortions that have ever been seen in the history of the financial world. That’s a fact. It’s worse than the Dotcom bubble and way worse than the 2008 meltdown. This one has the potential to make the last two look like walking through Central Park with an ice cream cone. Are they going to use this against President Trump? They are going to twist this, and we need to be ready for anything.”

The so-called Deep State has been trying to take President Trump down, and nothing has worked. If the Deep State cannot take Trump down, what are they going to do? Mannarino says, “They are going to collapse the economy. They are going to wipe out the economy, and they are going to hurt everybody. Housing is in a bubble and it’s cracking. . . . The markets are in bubbles that are truly epic. This is all being supported on the back of a debt bubble. That’s what they are going to do. No doubt about it. If they can’t get Trump any other way, they are going to collapse the economy. . . . We are going to see a wave of wealth go from one group of people to another group of people. This is the setup that has been going on for a long time. . . . There are those on the inside that are determined to bring down this country. If this thing comes apart, we have the potential for civil war right here in the United States.”

we short sellers are having a field day with your readers.
I offered you an insight into these markets but you obviously are not inclined to take advantage of 43 years of experience.
I love the inexperienced longs……

I suggested to mr. holter to sell every rally but the idiot did not listen….too busy selling bullcrap. 2 years ago.

If the deep state is going to take down Trump by crashing the markets … what choice does Trump have except to use his Goldman Sachs buddies “to fight the deep state” and keep the markets up (until he can get American jobs back and America producing products that can be sold to reduce our balance of payments deficit) … so it seems to me we are heading for Zimbabwe like inflation ahead … as that is what it will take to keep the markets going up (until Trump gets American jobs and workers back on their feet again) … seems to me that if Trump allows the deep state to crash the markets now America may not get back on its feet … so I think we are in for a little more inflation of the money supply to keep things from immediate collapse … however … once America is producing again … that is probably when the crash will be allowed to happen!!

I hope the US treasury bought at least 20 bit coins at $3 dollars each … so they could pay off the US national debt for us when their bit coins reach a trillion dollars each … as the Fed makes the US dollar more worthless … the US Treasury will likely find it easy to sell 19 of its bit coins for a trillion dollars each … and our national debt problem will be solved … I see that gold, silver and even the S&P 500 is being sold off now to buy bit coins … this mania must be a side effect of all the aluminum fluoride put into our drinking water “to damage our brains” and cause a rapid shortening of our telomeres (which shortens our life span) … so “aluminum drugged” American people are now rushing to sell everything they own to buy bit coins “like cabbage patch dolls” … and thus get rich quick before they are programed die at 65 (by drinking the aluminum fluoride and breathing aluminum particle “chem-trail” dust the government provides to save Social Security)!

A question that comes to mind is … who are greedier men or women? … can it be determined by who is buying bit coins? … probably … as scientific evidence now shows that feeding male babies “soy formula” feminizes them … and since more then half the babies in the US are fed “soy based” formula instead of breast milk altering and damaging their brains and making them into women … the question above can be easily answered … sorry ladies (the real ones that is)!!

Imagine — Janet Napolitano (DHS) for president to replace Trump. She’d be deep state perfect for taking a wrecking ball to what’s left of this country.

During her AZ governance (2003-2009), she ripped the door off the border, pushed her aberrant lifestyle, then got rewarded for turning AZ values inside out with a plum job as head of DHS, and then her current cushy job in the California college system — and we can see how that’s turning out. That horse face would be the perfect Hillary replacement. She has had a second bout of cancer, but libs, it seems, can outlive a flurry of hollow points.

If they are successful in tossing Trump, can you just imagine the chaos? Not all of his supporters are just going to sit around muttering “duh.” The Trump voters are hanging by a thread as it is, trying to hold in place if not recoup.

And all who look forward to such an event should be very careful what they wish for. The elite usurpers won’t be asking if the rioters voted R or D, won’t be impressed if they are flat-out Bolsheviks. The malcontents in the street, who will have served their purpose, will see how fast preferential rights, any rights at all will vaporize.

buying puts in a crashing market will get you…nothing…as the markets will close….like: shut down…disappear!
I have been trading silver and gold for 43 years straight (think about that) and I can tell you for certain that ALL markets are rigged …especially bonds and the s&p. I had to stop trading them because the forward spreads are against you on purpose to discourage you from shorting them.
Shorting the PM’s are extremely profitable for the traders as the longs are puppies. They do not have the staying power and will not stand for delivery.
If either of the ‘Gregs’ want to know what is really going on my e-mail is below.

Gregory Mannarino has some good opinions but I stopped following him ever since he predicted a solid market top at 18000. I’m not sure he’s fully on top of things. Greg, I like you interview Andrew Maguire if/when possible. Andrew has grater / clearer insight in the markets and especially the precious metal market.

The last time Greg H interviewed Greg M, there were many posts in the comment thread below disparaging the report by Greg M. But I learn a lot when Greg H interviews anyone, including Greg M. For instance, with this interview, I learned about the sell-off in tech stocks.

I do want to take this opportunity though and correct Greg M. There is no left and right anymore. They’re the same sides of the same evil coin. Both want to enslave and exterminate men. They just promote different mechanisms. I believe men should be choosing among different mechanisms to do great things. Not different agents of their own demise.

Second correction: an increasing number of men have been denied passports and aren’t allowed to leave the country. And many (most if not almost all) countries require a passport for banking (at least by foreigners). And a man needs a bank for reimbursement of medical insurance claims. Without medical insurance, care is unaffordable. Governments in the US have denied a growing number of conscientious men the necessary mechanisms for escaping their persecutors. And if they can’t prevent them from escaping, then it’ll deny them the mechanisms for survival. Until they’re dead.

A great cartoon for the next weekly wrap-up: Bozo the Clown juggling chain-saws, swords and hand-grenades while riding a unicycle on a diving board over a swimming pool populated by giant great-white sharks that shoot lazer-beams from their eyes. You can’t make this shit up.

“I stopped following him ever since he predicted a solid market top at 18000.”

There are many knowledgeable traders and analysts out there and I would say 100% of them have been wrong so far in predicting developments. But NOT ONE of these analysts/traders (nor anyone else) had any idea just how far the central banks could and would go to prop up the system. Probably, even the central banks didn’t think they could go this far. When the financial system collapses, it will be stunning. There will be no warning when things start to come apart, and no opportunity to get out. Its as Bill Holter says – what you have in your possession is what you will have. Time will tell what the central banks will do – will they print even more money to keep things going? This is my guess, but only after everything has seized up. At some point, a new currency will have to be issued. How all of this will unfold is anyone’s guess.

Thanks, Donald. I agree with your assessment. And I agree with the conclusion by Bill Holter that what you have in your possession will be what you will have. I do not agree however with his assessment of how we got where we are. Holter and others promote the false dichotomy of right and left. They also misrepresent the “right” as free-market capitalists and the “left” as socialists. This construct is grossly inaccurate. Both left and right promote stealing the proceeds of a man’s slave labor and giving it to another demographic for profit and absolute power. Very few men don’t participate in usury (borrowing money from central banks) to live beyond their means and to buy goods and services and a standard of living for which they didn’t work and didn’t earn (usury). The people who refuse to participate in usury are those who have to pay the price for it. Those people are slaves. In the US today, both the left and right promote usury and slavery. The left does not promote socialism and the right does not promote free-market capitalism. And almost no one promotes anything in between. Almost everyone promotes slavery. The left has created a mechanism which allows professional victims to profit from their imaginary victimhood by borrowing from central banks (usury). The right has created mechanisms by which professional opportunists may profit from their imaginary victimhood (usury). Both require someone else to pay the price for them to live like pigs at troughs and to enjoy life-styles they neither worked for nor earned. Too many people think that the Robber Barons were (are) capitalists. But they’re not. They didn’t earn what they have through hard work. They borrowed money from the central banks and enslaved others to pay off the debt. That’s not capitalism. It’s usury and slavery. But too many people in the US have become brain-washed into believing that that construct is the solution to or converse of what liberals today call socialism. Which really isn’t socialism. It’s also usury. So both sides promote the same outcome but just different paths to getting there.

At least 5 years ago Stewart Thompson said the DOW would reach 40,000 eventually. As a subscriber I read all his stuff. He gives reasons.
This is the only real prediction he made. He says predicting is a waste of time: preparing and responding are more important. Also, he says surprise is the only constant in the markets and he is constantly surprised himself so he tries to trade professionally and says selling when a stock is on fire is hard, but buying when a stock has crashed 90% takes a big supply of air sickness bags.

Thanks again to the Greg Squared team for allowing us to listen to a great conversation on market action and world events. The perspective on what is happening is great.

When I listen to Greg M. discuss market manipulation (Dow up on financials, NASDAQ down BIG) with the background of the Deep State continuing to go after the Trump administration, it’s fair to say that yes, the DS may be using the markets as a blunt instrument to attack Trump on a different front, now that the Comey front has totally fallen apart along with Comey’s credibility.

Regarding the KingWorldNews links and the alleged hacked and “deleted a portion”, don’t take this seriously. It is a blatant attempt to get people to the site. Here’s why.

Let’s assume that the site was hacked and a portion of the interview deleted. Are you telling me that the only copy of the audio interview that was kept was the one on the web server? No backup copies were made. Come on. It also implies that the editing which was done to original interview – and they are all edited because Eric King puts advertisements at the start – was either done on the web server (almost certainly not) or that the edited copies on some other machine(s) were deleted (patently stupid) when the interview was posted to the web or were hacked as well. What a bunch of malarkey.

Don’t fall for this nonsense. It would be trivial to post the original interview back on the web site. Not doing so is click bait. KingWorldNews is trying to dupe us all.

Greg M is one of the good guys. He tells it the way he sees it and is very up front with the fact that he uses his understanding of the rigged game to create profits for himself and his followers. As I see it President Trump has everything stacked against him.
I am not a Trump fan but he has earned my respect for the effort and risks that he is taking.

Dear Greg for some on known reason my messages to you do not get through this is very disturbing I do not know if it is your side or the government.

To answer Greg Mannarino As to why James Comey never took notes on Hillary Clinton.Please go back to Lee Harvey Oswald and his interrogation hours not one note not one nothing.It is FBI procedure if there was ever anything written then it would blow their whole case.They are the three monkeys hear no evil see no evil and speak no evil.The FBI was designed for the deep state not the every day person.Steal one penny from the bank and the FBI will get you by the bank and steel millions from you and nothing will ever happen.The FBI was conceived for the banks strong-arm nothing more

I sense Andrew McGuire and Greg Mannarino are discussing a similar, as yet an undescribable, delineated event, which will affect crude and the precious metals. One would also expect pernicious effects on equities and bonds.

After what happened last week with James Comey’s disastrous testimony before Congress and the failing Russian narrative, my thoughts turn to predictable changes in Mr. Trump’s government security detail. I’m hoping that’s a positive development.

Interpretation: I’m not interested in seeing him assassinated–at all–within the next month or so. Or ever, for that matter.

I’m hoping he’ll keep a lower public profile and avoid large open crowds and open roof motorcades.

Greg Mannarino is a man of integrity. Thanks for having him on. I share his concern about the lawlessness of Hillary, the corruption in the FBI, and the satanic Deep State. I’ve concluded that Hillary, the FBI, and NY Times are all charter members of the Deep State.

There is geopolitical in Qatar and neighboring nations.
Also, the public is starting to confront tech privacy invasion
and censorship issues.
I agree the markets have been parabolic and metals
suppressed illegally.

Oh boy. Like numerous others, I’ve been in expectation for a number of years. Now we see the boiling pot. And there is in lock step with this, another disaster occurs. Qatar. They are tied in with international banks and a handful of Muslim states are attacking their financial system. Monday morning could be very interesting. The black swan came out of left field.

Greg – If Comey ILLEGALLY leaked his notes from meeting with Trump to get a special prosecutor …. isn’t the special prosecutor now illegal? A law inforcemnet official can’t break the law to get what they want AND THIS IS THE HEAD OF THE FBI! This whole thing is beyond unbelievable! … this is scary and it is going to unravel with huge, ugly consequences. Unfortunately, it will be the little guy, main street America, that is stuck with the mess, and it will be the little guy that most likely will bailout the To big to fail politicians, banks, real estate developers, etc,.! I really like Greg’s M. advice ‘become your own central bank’!!!!

It depends on whether Comey had that conversation with Trump on his own time or FBI’s time. If Comey were on the clock, that conversion is not private and the memo doesn’t belong to him – Executive Privilege applies to the conversation and Comey did illegally leak his notes from the meeting.

Greg,
I’m pretty sure the Director of the FBI doesn’t punch in or out. Proving whether Comey was on the clock would be difficult, but proving he wasn’t on the clock would be even more difficult.
However, none of it would matter if Trump doesn’t get rid of the Specioa Councel. Newt is right regarding Mueller, Trump would likely be impeached within a year if he doesn’t follow Newt’s advice.
Come to think of it, Trump should know by now that the establishments are not going to leave him alone to run the country. If he doesn’t strike back now, starting with Comey and Hillary, he deserves to be impeached.

HAS ANBOY ASKED JAMES COMEY IF HE WAS/PRESENT, -IN THE ROOM,- DURING THE JULY 2, 2016, CLINTON SUBPEONED , (NOT UNDER OATH) INTERROGATION? WHO WAS THE LEAD INTERROGATED At least one State Department employee, according to the 58-pages of notes written by FBI investigators, was concerned with Clinton’s use of a private server, but Clinton said she was “not aware” that the concern existed.
FOR IMPORTANT legal facts click on link below follow the illegal acts the FBI interrogators committed.http://lawnewz.com/high-profile/so-why-the-heck-wasnt-hillary-clintons-fbi-interview-recorded/
IT WOULD BE PRUDENT FOR REP. TREY GOWDY OR THE CHAIRMAN OF THE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE TO SUBPEONA JAMES COMEY TO SEE WHY HE WAS NOT PRESENT/ IN THE ROOM, DURING CLINTON INTERROGATION, AND WHO TOOK THE FBI 58 PAGES OF NOTES

“Andrew Maguire predicting an event in 26 days that will influence the PM market. Apparently part of the interview was deleted in regards to this prediction.http://kingworldnews.com/alert-unknown-entity-deletes-a-portion-of-whistleblower-andrew-maguires-kwn-audio-interview-about-a-major-event-in-26-days/
Kim, just be careful of this type of hype (portion of the tape was stripped out of Maguire’s KWN audio interview by some unknown entity). KWN has a history of this type of hype.
More likely – the KWN staff member accidentally erased a portion of the audio while setting up the audio recording up for listening.
Instead of pissing off Eric King, this KWN staff member probably, came up with the story “some unknown entity erased it”.
I would expect Eric King probably suspected it was not true, but decided to go with it anyway for marketing effect since he knows what his audience likes to hear.

In my opinion, there are egotistical, cuckoo for cocoa puffs, controlling people, who are manipulating the markets. As Mannarino said, the markets are fake, but there will be a point when they stop manipulating and let things go.

These people are intimidating, but I really do not think they are as powerful as we think they are. For example, Trump was elected, and they are still trying to get rid of him. When the masses of the American people speak, things happen!

The world is changing. God is in control. Nothing will stand in His way or timing. God’s joy in us, is our strength!

It is more then manipulating the markets … they are “manipulating human sexuality” … if more women would breast feed their babies we would have more “real men” in the world to set things straight… instead women bought into the deep state programing about keeping their figures and fed their babies soy formula instead breast feeding and thus created millions and millions of perverted gays, pedophiles and Satan worshipers everywhere around us … all in keeping with the deep states “ultimate program” to reduce the human population to 500,000 people!!

Two years ago on USA watchdog Harvey organ told Greg hunter and the world that the dollar would collapse and gold and silver was going to the moon.This was all going to happen by December 2014.Harvey interview destroyed his reputation for years.We hope Andrew maquire does not end up like Harvey organ.He will be finished as a gold forecaster,his name ruined. He will become a joke on august first if his prediction is wrong.

Keith
I agree with you. Many reputations of the gold legends, gurus, etc., etc. etc, have been destroyed over the last (half decade plus) and Harvey is a testament to this fact.
I really like Andrew, so I hope he is onto something here and it is revealed to the world by August. If there really is a large entity, such as sovereign or entities/sovereigns that are looking to acquire a significant amount of physical gold that can overwhelm the paper gold market, they are all subject to changing their game plan up until the July 5th game plan. I still can’t understand why Andrew would reveal this at this time , if it is correct.
I have to admit, this is the first time for me that I heard that some unknown entity mysteriously erased a portion of a taped audio that was soon to be released to the public.
Greg, did that ever happen to you???
KWN said they had the original, so it makes me wonder why they did not make another copy and attempt to post it again in its entirety. I know I would have tried if it was my website.
Oh Kim, good post above. I agree with you too.

Greg and fellow Watchdoggers
I concur with Mannarino’s analysis.
Currently the Don and his supporters are pointing to the fact that the Stock market is up trillions of dollars since he was elected. The Deep state needs to eliminate this narrative quickly, if they wish to continue their game plan of taking out the Don. And there is no question anymore of the game plan they are pursuing. Good interview Greg and Gregory!
Thank You!

Aloha Greg,
We love your program and agree with you and your guest most of the time. My reason for this comment is not about money, it is about the on going event that I guess is to scary to talk about. Could you, will you, please open everyone’s eyes about “Fukashim”. You can have all the silver and gold in the world, only problem, soon we will all be Radioactive. Mahalo for your time……

Robert … it is well known that “reptilians” can absorb high amounts of radioactivity without ill effect … but humans are “very easily” damaged by radioactivity … so geo-engineering the planet in this manner will ultimately reduce humankind and make way for a complete reptilian takeover!!

Bit coin is most likely the bankster’s final weapon to bring in their new world order … they will force bid coins price up and up and up … and every market will be sold off … as all markets collapse the banksters will then offer the world “their solution” as to what money is … we don’t need “their final solution” … as we already know what money is … “gold and silver” and nothing else!!!

The price of platinum is again near all time low. PPLT was $80.20 on Jan. 15, 2016, went back up to around $110 on July 29, 2016 and down to $89.90 now.
Palladium has out performed, almost 100%, other PMs in the past seven years??? If it were due the sub-prime auto loan induced boom in the auto industry, I would have to figure out how to short PALL.

I am no expert on Palladium or Platinum but I do remember reading a few years back, that for catatonic converters, they alter the two metals. I think it was simply due to this very price fluctuation you are describing. I am going by memory here of having read how the two metals are altered.

Greg,
AIIB world board of governors will meet this coming weekend in Korea.https://www.aiib2017.org/eng/
According to my sources, AIIB has been behind the release of gold backed crypto currencies in several privates exchanges during the month of May. I know for a fact that both HSBC and Wells Fargo bank have been working extensively in installing patches into their computer systems to accommodate the transfer of this new currency via both SWIFT and CIPS. If this information proves to be true, I would suggest that AIIB has been testing the smaller exchanges in preparation for major release a to its member countries in the coming months.

While some of this information may be suspect, I would suggest it goes a long way in explaining why a gold backed crypto currency was released in Dubai the first part of June and why the central banks smashed gold again. They may try and slow down the transition, but they can’t stop it. Unless I missed my guess, the dollar is about to be given its biggest test yet, following AIIB’s board of governors meeting this coming weekend, when the floodgates of gold backed crypto currency will be officially opened to over seventy member nations who are looking for a way out of the world bank and its paid IMF prostitute. And what will the deep state do?
A. Go to war.
B. Crash the economy and blame Donald trump.
C. Print some more money and kick the can down the road.
D. Let Jeff Sessions lock them up.
E. (This is the one I picked) keep smashing gold prices and sell paper contracts to the Chinese to stall for more time.

Its also important to note that the “City of London Corporation” (Rothschild’s) were instrumental in bankrolling the Peoples Bank of China. After all who do you think organized the Bretton Woods system? The Rothschild’s and the Rockefeller’s. And lets not forget that globalist like Christine Lagarde at the IMF love the number “7”.

Any crypto currency that can circumvent banks in the real estate markets should be taken seriously. Without real estate banks become nothing more than credit card peddlers and casino clerks at the derivative wheel. This is huge!

Michael: We need to nuke Wash and everybody in it and start all over again in Kansas. Wash DC is beyond repair. Also, one term and one term only for politicians. Make them go back home and have to live under all their stupid decisions.

Thanks Greg for a great interview. Always enjoy the Man. About Comey not taking notes when Hillary was supposedly “interrogated” – as I remember he wasn’t even there for that. Guess it wasn’t very important.

There are very few crime/mystery novels that approach this true story for compelling drama, intrigue and brinkmanship (with the nation in the balance).
Don’t believe the fake-media story that Trump made a mistake or huge gaffe by firing Comey.
Don’t believe the media narrative from the left that it was an attempt to silence Comey from some investigation into Trump.
Don’t believe the RINO narrative that Comey is a good guy just trying to do his job in terrible circumstances and the timing was bad.
Don’t believe the lie that Comey was admired and respected by career FBI investigators and agents.
Don’t believe the lie that Trump’s “tweets” are not professional and have no strategic purpose. His tweets are ‘weaponized’ and deadly.
James Comey is a poisonous snake of the highest order… a deep-water Swamp Denizen who has been highly paid to deliberately provide cover for high-level corruption by the Clintons and Obama. He is has been central to trying to destroy the Trump campaign and then the Trump administration from the start. He is as dirty as they come in DC. He had highest-level cover (the FBI no less) and was deep into an effort to eliminate Trump. Trump had to move hard, fast, and at exactly the right time to cut the head off the snake without getting bitten by the snake or being finished by the other swamp denizens.
Begin by noticing how the President fired Comey when Comey was 3,000 miles away from his office, that Comey had no inkling he was being cut, that all his files, computers, and everything in his office were seized by his boss Sessions and the justice department.
This was not a violation of protocol, it was tactical. Notice how Prez Trump compartmentalized the strike and did not inform any of his White House “staff” to prevent leaks. Notice how he emasculated Comey and the swamp denizens by letting them know in a tweet that the Attorney General got information (surveillance “tapes” from the seizure of Comey’s office) to let Comey and his handlers know that Trump’s DOJ has the goods on them. This was a brilliant, strategic and totally imperative move at exactly the right time against horrible, evil and corrupt powers infesting our government. The swamp is on notice that the President is on to them, they are sweating bullets because their criminal games of corruption are being pursued and they know it. They are screaming and ranting because they are desperate denizens of the swamp who are beginning to realize they are roadkill. They will run the gauntlet!

Comey was a minor assistant US attorney in the late 90’s. He only gained power and money by being the DOJ official who “investigated” and cleared Bill Clinton of any wrong-doing in Clinton’s totally corrupt pardon (for huge payoffs) of criminal financier Marc Rich as Clinton was leaving the Presidency. This is how Comey began his career as a creature of the “swamp” years ago, as a servant of the Clintons.
Comey provided “cover” for the Clintons in their gaining incredible power and wealth after leaving office through pardoning a billionaire money-launderer, arms dealer and criminal. Comey was a key piece in how the Clintons upped their corruption game and gained incredible wealth through their foundation after leaving the White House.
A huge part of the scheme was giving Marc Rich a free pass when he should have spent life in prison, and that is what Comey covered-up for the Clintons. This set up Comey to be part of the corruption machine, making him powerful and wealthy.
Immediately after doing the Clinton’s dirty work as a DOJ official, Comey resigned from the DOJ and took a position as the head attorney (Counsel) of the Lockheed Martin company, a huge military contractor. While he was in that position Lockheed became a major contributor (millions) to the Clinton Foundation and its fake charity spin-offs. In return for these payment to Clinton Inc., Lockheed received huge contracts with Hillary’s state department. Comey was the chief legal officer of Lockheed throughout this period of contributions to Clinton Inc. in return for State Dept. contracts.
In late 2012, after overseeing Lockheed’s successful relationship with the Hillary State Department and the resulting profits, Comey stepped down from Lockheed and received a $6 million dollar payout for his services.
In 2013, the largest bank of England, HSBC Holdings, was deep into a scandal. Investigations by federal authorities and law-enforcement had revealed that for years HSBC had been laundering billions of dollars for Mexican Drug Cartels, channeling money for Saudi banks who were financing terror, moving money for Iran in violation of the sanctions, and other major criminal activity.
HSBC’s criminality was pervasive and deliberate by the Bank and its officials. HSBC was a huge Clinton Foundation contributor (many millions) throughout the “investigation” and Bill Clinton was being paid large personal fees for speaking at HSBC events (while Hillary was Sec of State). Eric Holder and the Obama Justice Department did what they were paid to do, and let HSBC off of the hook for a paltry 1.2 Billion dollar fine (paid by its stockholders), and not one Director, officer or management member at HSBC was fired or charged with any criminal.
Exactly when everyone involved with HSBC Bank (including the Clintons and all of their “donors”) were being let off without penalty, and cover had to be provided to HSBC, Comey was appointed as a Director and Member of the Board of HSBC (in the middle of the fallout from the scandal). He was part of the effort to cover up the scandal and make HSBC “respectable” again.
After about a year as HSBC director, despite his lack of any law enforcement experience, no DOJ leadership experience, and no qualifications for the job, Comey was appointed FBI director by Obama.
The only qualification Comey had was that the Clinton’s and their cronies knew Comey was in bed with them, was compromised and was willing to do their dirty work. Comey was appointed to the FBI right when Hillary was leaving the State Department, and was vulnerable to the FBI because she had been using a private-server, mis-handling classified information, selling access to favors/contracts from the State Department to Clinton Foundation Donors (including Comey’s Lockheed Martin), and much more.
Remember that this was about the time the Inspector General of the State Department found over 2 billion “missing” from the State Department finances during Hillary’s tenure.
The obvious conclusion is that Comey was appointed to the FBI (along with other reliable Clinton-Obama cronies) to run interference for the Clinton’s and Obama’s at the nation’s federal law enforcement agency (in conjunction with a corrupt Department of Justice). Comey was and is owned by the Clintons. He owed all of his power and wealth to being part of their machine and providing them with cover.
In late 2015 and early 2016, information began to come out about the Clinton Foundation and its use by the Clinton’s as a multi-billion dollar slush fund for corruption and political favors (even Chelsea’s wedding had been paid for by the “charity.)
This was right as Hillary was beginning her campaign for President. It was revealed that the Foundation had never completed required reports or had an audit. Supposedly the FBI, under Comey, began an “investigation” of the Clinton Funds. A “professional” accounting firm was brought in by the Clintons to do a review, file some reports, make recommendations to the Clinton Foundation Board, and provide a veneer of legitimacy to the Clinton Fund operations. Predictably, one of the partners in the firm that was chosen (and paid lots of money) is the brother of James Comey (FBI Director).
This brother owes James Comey $700,000 for a loan James gave him to buy a house, and presumably some of the money from the Clinton Fund was used to make payments to James on the loan. Over 2 years later and nothing has happened as a result of the FBI “investigating” the Clinton Funds under Comey.
No one in congress or federal law enforcement was intending to actually pursue the Clintons, but Judicial Watch and other independent sources obtained information proving that Hillary had been running her own server, sending out classified information, etc. This information began to come out right in the middle of her campaign to be coronated as President. A “show” investigation had to be performed to appear to look into it and clear her. Who to use?…the reliable shill James Comey.
As head of the FBI, Comey (and his lackeys in key positions) deliberately screwed up the investigation into Hillary’s use of a private server and her plain violation of national security law on classified information. The investigation was deliberately mis-handled in every aspect.
Comey gave immunity to all of Hillary’s lackeys
Did not use subpoenas or warrants *
Lost evidence
Allowed the destruction of evidence
Failed to do any searches or seizures of evidence
Did not use a grand-jury *
Did not swear witnesses
Did not record testimony
Allowed attorneys to represent multiple suspects (corrupting the testimony).
(It was revealed a Grand Jury and subpoenas were used in what manner, unknown as – we’ve know some people were issued subpoenas but not known the extent and who was and wasn’t served. Grand jury info came out in April/May 2017. )

The U.S. Constitution is the ultimate “rulebook,” the supreme law of the land. There is absolutely nothing in that legal document that gives the federal government the power to create a national secret police organization, aka the FBI. In light of the ongoing revelations that James Comey, former head of the FBI, acted as a lick-spittle lapdog for the Clinton crime family, the FBI ought to be recognized as the unconstitutional, illegal and totally politicized agency that it is, and shut down by the Congress by refusing to fund it. The Founding Fathers wouyld be rolling over in their graves to know that an unaccountable secret national police force (Stasi) runs political interference for the deep state while refusing to prosecute the real law-breakers.

Everything that could be done to ruin the FBI investigation and to cover for Hillary was done. A “slam-dunk” case became a mess. Immunity was given every witness even though they provided no help.
Maybe more importantly, by focusing the FBI on the email scandal, attention was drawn away from the much bigger scandal of the Clinton Foundation that could bring down a huge number of corrupt politicians, lobbyists, and even governments.
Originally, Comey’s job was simply to totally botch the Hillary investigation and ruin the case against her and her minions within the FBI regarding he emails. At the same time Comey also started work on a parallel assignment to illegally “wiretap” and surveil Donald Trump and every other person involved in the Republican campaign. He was tasked with digging up any dirt or fact that could be used to hurt the Trump campaign later.
This included using a fake “dossier” paid for by the Clinton campaign to obtain authorization for the surveillance and to try to associate Trump’s campaign with the Russians. Under Comey’s direction the Trump/republican campaign was monitored and surveilled and all information was provided to the Obama Whitehouse and the Clinton camp all during the campaign.
Lorretta Lynch was supposed to complete the cover-up for Hillary as Attorney General by issuing a finding that the deliberately botched FBI “investigation” did not justify prosecution of Hillary. But someone screwed up and Bill Clinton was video’d meeting with Loretta Lynch in Arizona shortly before she was supposed to make her decision on Hillary (interference with a federal investigation), and Lynch could no longer credibly squash the Hillary scandal.
The solution, give the job to James. The Clinton’s owned him and he would have to do whatever is necessary to provide cover. Comey goes on national TV and violates every rule of the FBI, the Justice Department and American law enforcement by revealing some of the FBI’s “evidence” of what Hillary did (enough to make it look like the FBI and Comey did some investigation), then declaring that there was no “intent” and clearing Hillary. He did what he was ordered to do. The Justice Department and Obama backed Comey’s coverup and it looked like Hillary had survived the scandal.
Then, right before the election, the NYPD obtained pervert Anthony Wiener’s laptop and found classified emails from Hillary on the laptop. The NYPD began leaking details to new-media outlets, and the story was about to explode. Comey once again stepped in to cover Hillary. He short-circuited the NYPD leaks by publicly acknowledging the laptop and the emails, but then claimed just days later that hundreds of thousands of emails had all been reviewed and “nothing new” was on the laptop. Once again, he had done his job. Providing cover and FBI “protection” for Hillary on the newest scandal when it broke.
The surveillance of the Trump campaign is continued after he is elected, all participants are “unmasked” illegally, and the transcripts are leaked throughout the government and to the media.
When General Flynn appropriately calls Russian officials on behalf of Trump, they brush off the old fake “dossier” and all of the surveillance of the campaign, and Comey creates the “Russian Conspiracy” investigation.
With help by RINO swamp kingpin and warmonger sell-out McCain, the fake “Russian pee dossier” is leaked to the press. There is no actual evidence of any collusion or connection between Trump or his campaign with Russia, but that does not prevent Comey from initiating an “investigation” at the FBI. This provides Comey with protection from Trump firing him immediately.
Comey (or his minions) constantly leak news of the “Russia Investigation” to the media, and the media does its scripted part by screaming constantly about “Russia.” The Democrats fill their role and constantly scream about “Russia.” McCain and the RINO establishment do their part by promising to “investigate” how the Russians influenced the campaign.
Immediately after Trump is sworn in, the DOJ Hillary/Obama operatives and Comey start the direct attack. This is before Sessions has been appointed to the Department of Justice and the DOJ is still controlled by Obama operatives.
DOJ Obama appointee Sally Yates approaches the Whitehouse with news that General Flynn had been in contact with Russia and alleges that he might be compromised. She reveals that there is an FBI “investigation” into the Russia ties (which they are constantly leaking to the media themselves). The White House Counsel (who Yates talks to, not Trump) asks for some more information.
This is a two-pronged attack. It protects Comey and DOJ democrat holdovers from being terminated by the new administration because they are involved in an “ongoing investigation” that they control the timetable on (albeit one with absolutely no evidence).
If Trump fires Comey then he is “interfering with the investigation” which is itself a federal crime that the FBI could then “investigate.” Alternatively, if they can get Trump to question Comey about Flynn or try to get him to back off of Flynn or the “Russia” investigation, then they again have him “interfering.”
Trump knows it is a set up by Comey and that he is probably being recorded (tips from FBI or DOJ who are not part of the corruption?) Maybe because his phone calls in the Whitehouse as President have already been bugged and released to the media. (FBI is in the best position to do this.) Maybe because he was used to the Mafia in NY trying to shake him down every time he built a hotel.
Comey tells Trump that Trump is not under investigation regarding Russia, but that others involved with the campaign are being investigated. Trump does not take the bait and attempt to intervene about Flynn or the Russia scam. Later, Flynn is cut loose because he is being used by Comey and the Obama-holdover Justice to try to damage Trump. He did nothing wrong, but if he stayed the charge of “interfering with an investigation” might seem to have teeth. Comey verbally tells Trump on two more occasions that he is not being investigated, but refuses to state this fact publicly or when testifying in Congress.
Trump knows everything I have gone through above about Comey. But he has to move carefully. He has to get his Attorney General and Deputy AG in place, get enough leverage on the Russia narrative, and ideally get rid of Comey in a way that allows him to obtain all the information that Comey has been accumulating (if he is taping Trump he is taping others.)
Comey, and others testify in Congress. Under oath, both Sally Yates and Intelligence officials from the Obama administration state that there has been no actual evidence of any collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. More importantly, Comey, while refusing to say that Trump is not under investigation, testifies that he has informed the Senate Intelligence Committee heads who exactly is under investigation regarding Russia.
Trump tells almost no one at the White House that he is moving against Comey (so no leaks… no listening in on his conversations.) Trump somehow contacts Sen. Grassley (the Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee) and confirms that Comey told the Senator that Trump was not under investigation personally. Trump gets both the Attorney General and the new Deputy Attorney General to legitimately review Comey’s unprofessional actions at the FBI and to recommend in writing that Trump terminate Comey. Somehow Comey goes to California (at the request of AG Sessions or already scheduled and someone at FBI telling Trump?)
Trump seizes the moment and acts. While Comey is in California, 3000 miles away and 7 hours from his office, Trump prepares a letter firing him (with Sessions and the Deputy AG recommendations attached). In the letter Trump states that he had been told 3 times by Comey that he (Trump) was not under investigation.
The letter is hand-delivered to the FBI headquarters by DOJ officials to lock-down and seize everything in Comey’s office, including all surveillance files (“tapes”) of Trump and others. All of Comey’s files, docs, computers and “tapes” are taken to Sessions at DOJ. They are not taken to the Whitehouse or Trump, but to Sessions, who has every right to have them. Sessions can tell Trump that Comey had surveillance tapes of Trump that contradict what Comey has been telling Trump, and perhaps tapes of conversations with other swamp “conspirators.” But Trump does not have them personally or at the Whitehouse.
Comey learns he has been fired when the media broadcasts it in California. He had no idea it was coming and he is ticked. On cue, the Democrat politicians and media begin screaming about Trump’s “interference with the Russia investigation” in accordance with the plan to set up Trump for that charge.
The Swamp wants to blow up the Russia narrative using Comey, and Comey is set to testify before Congress to try to hurt Trump by saying he was interfering with the FBI investigation. Comey intends to follow through with the plan to take down Trump. But because of his brilliant timing on this, Trump has Comey’s files, documents and information safely with Sessions at DOJ. Trump sends out a “crazy” tweet that says: “James Comey better hope that there are no “tapes” of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press.”
The media and the politicians go crazy about the “inappropriateness” of this tweet. They accuse Trump of “taping” everyone at the White House (forgetting that the Presidents phone calls with foreign leaders have been “taped” without his knowledge.)
Notice that Trump did not say he taped anyone, or that he has any tapes at the White House. It seem apparent that Trump is telling Comey that the DOJ (who has every legal right to possess it) has the surveillance information and files from Comey’s office, the “tapes” obtained and kept by Comey.
Comey and all the Swamp Creatures understand the clear message… their plan has failed and Trump’s DOJ is now holding all the cards.
The whole Russia interference scheme crashes and burns. While the mouthpiece media, Hollywood and the insane fringe continue to scream about Russia and Comey being fired, the politicians who will soon be in the crosshairs of a legitimate (and ticked) FBI and DOJ are starting to fall strangely silent. Comey realizes all the leverage is with Trump and that he will be lucky if he is not added to the Clinton Death List because of his knowledge (better not take any baths near an electrical outlet or get on any airplanes).
AG Sessions and his Deputy AG use the Comey trove of information to determine who has been part of the Comey Syndicate at the FBI. They will be appointing an “interim” Director of the FBI shortly who has not been compromised by Comey, Clinton or Obama.
That “interim” Director does not have to be approved by Congress or anyone, and can immediately begin cleaning house at the FBI of all Comey/Clinton/Obama minions, initiating investigations of the Clintons, Clinton Fund, violations of intelligence confidentiality laws by Susan Rice and Obama, human trafficking in DC, political corruption… draining the Swamp.
Using the Comey files they can be fairly certain they are not getting another Comey as an “interim”, and they do not have to wait for the circus of appointing a new permanent “Director” through Congressional approval. Most of the heavy lifting on rooting out FBI corruption and starting investigations into the swamp will be done by the “interim” before a new director is appointed. I suspect the Trump administration hopes the approval FBI Director process will be slow and tedious, so there is no political interference with the housecleaning that is starting.
In one masterstroke, Trump has eliminated a truly toxic and dangerous enemy to his administration and our country, dealt a horrendous blow to the Clinton/Obama and deep state machines, begun the restoration of the integrity of the FBI and the DOJ, and gained incredible ammunition to begin hunting the foul creatures in the swamp. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkNJsTwC8WQ

The Boozer Allen Hamilton – Bravo. Your text should be dropped out of helicopters for the masses to read. Karma is a powerful thing, and snakes sometimes wind up eating their own tails, such as Comey explaining his leak as some kind of self defense.

Greg, Good interview … I am not sure that the American people have the backbone to commit to an actual civil war although there are millions who are willing to die with our fingers on the trigger and as has been said : it only took 3% of the population to commit to the American revolution. Greg, you cracked the door open and the ‘Turkish Troll’ appeared to get his panties so twisted up that he went apoplectic !! The point is that the fascist ideology is just that and anyone who is in denial of this fact is supporting all of the heinous acts committed by the faithful. Personally I will not sit back quietly while these and other forces endeavor to destroy our American culture … We are under attack and at war in my patriotic opinion. Yours in Faith and Liberty, FN, DB.

Freebreeze and Tinfoil,
So the memo transfer legality relies on ‘in what capacity’ Comey was invited to the White House? Where as a friend or a meeting of department heads?
X22 lays out rather directly that notes and memos taken by government officials pertaining to government matters belong to the government. Check it out…https://youtu.be/mbDXr4DVaNc
If anyone spying for the U.S. went to a party and took notes…those notes would not be obliged to surrender them to the U.S. government? It would appear Comey was asked to the White House because of his position as head of the F.B.I. and his private meeting was also… and not to go to another room and do shots and smoke cigars with a buddy…neither of which Trump does by the way…lol

As for Greg M and his warning…listening to the ‘excuses’ in the MSM bus. this morning…they do not make sense… a sector rotation? into what…this IS a collapse one of one the bubbles…and with the coming ‘probable’ rate hike…ahead of the air coming out of housing….and the more than rumors about downtrends in the collection of auto and student loans and rising bankruptcies … they are trying NOT TO POP the bubbles but let the air out as surreptitiously as possible… which from the comments of Rick Santelli…he is on to it and the looming tightening of credit and loans.
One can see the players all around the table staring at each others hands on the edge of the table, looking for a sign of white knuckles pushing to jump up and run for that narrow door on the other side of the room in Michael Pento warnings – LOL
Might watch and see if Congress blocks the military purchasing that will cut of the expected defense spending…and …as you always seem to be a bit ahead of the curve Greg and Greg…what you next guest, Andrew Maguire, might know of quiet purchases and taking delivery of gold and by who…might be another ‘tell’ as also hint at by the last CTM-John B. Wells link I posted about Jacob Rothchild supposed heading to the bullion stacking party after the last Bildenberg meeting… As a side note after the story of the massive drop of sales of Tesla cars when the ‘ tax incentives’ are withdrawn…

Hi Greg,
Greg2 is always a good interview. If, or when civil war breaks out, 365 days later be ready to learn Russian and/or Chinese.
If the economy fails how long will people remain at work for no pay or pay similar to what people are receiving in Venezuela? How long will police and firemen stay on duty? If you are a store manager how long will you keep your store open to sell your food and supplies for worthless dollars before you realize you need those same things at home? How long will the power companies operate when everyone just stops showing up for work because you can’t afford to feed your family?
When the grid goes down the “Great Die-off” will begin. One year later 90% of Americans will be dead and if I was a former KGB Lt. Colonel I would wait until 330 million Americans became 33 million Americans before I invaded, or rather came to America to restore order.

Removing America from being a world power has ALWAYS been point and problem. Why do you think the “Dumbing Down” process employed through Public School and Higher Education is so well funded?!??
Invasion won’t be necessary. The “Multi-national” to “UNI-national” transition will be complete by then. Chips and FEMA will save all those who can’t face hunger or uncertainty. Evergreen College shows Americans can no longer think rationally; read at any acceptable grade level; or dialogue. Looking at the great institutions America once framed – the question is: “What’s wrong with this picture?”. The foundations are crumbling. Like the Crash – a One-World government is not a matter of if anymore, but when. Gun ownership must disappear

Hi Charles,
I know about the “Deliberate dumbing down of Ameria” ((Charlotte Izerbit)) and other things, but the reason that things will happen the way I say they will is a multi-faceted arrangement.
Most Americans have no concept of true hardship.
Most Americans have never gone more than 3 meals without food.
Most Americans have never had to think about filtering their water.
Most Americans can only see what they are shown to believe rather than believe what they see.
All my friends from South Vietnam and othe places please filter what you read.
Most Americans have never seen their currency go to zero in a matter of hours.
Most Americans have never seen all that they love and believe in go up in flames and be destroyed in front of their eyes.
Most Americans have never had to choose between letting your wife or children die so that you could escape.
Most Americans have never had to feed themselves without any
money or a way to procure any. ((You cannot believe what a woman will do for food.))
Most Americans have never gone more than 24 hours without food and less than 6 hours without water.
Most Americans have never had to kill someone in order to board the last helicopter out of HELL.
All my friends from South Vietnam and also Cambodia know what I am talking about.
Most Americans live in a virtual reality world and have no idea what the hell reality is.

I have lived through the collapse of four different economies. I know how fast everything can change. I know how precious life can become at a moments notice. You will have to decide between yourself and your posterity. Search your hearts now.
Shalom,
CC

Thanks, CC. I personally witnessed the evacuation of Saigon – albeit from a remote site. On the USS Miday I helped recieve hundreds of Vietnamese. It was remakable to see trauma and fear mixed with relief on their faces. I wish I had one of the Huey helicopters pushed overboard to make room for the birddog that landed with a Col. and family.
You are right about searching hearts now. The course of Life or Death must be pre-charted.

Hi Charles H,
I pushed a lot of them to you. LOL. I was a Vietnamese translator and we “processed” tens of thousands of Hmong, Cambodians Laotians and Vietnamese during the final weeks of March, April, even into May from their respective countries until the USS Mayaguez (a container ship) was hijacked. Then it was Koh Tang or “BUST”.
Shalom,
CC

How else to get America and it’s abilities out of the way for other events to happen? While this may be an unpopular point of view, there are more important things to bring forward than American wealth. With America out of the way, events yet to unfold in the Middle East will have the opening they need to take place. All of this is inevitable. Issues with Europe, Islam, Israel and other world powers need to happen. If America can not intervene, as we have, what better way to try to settle scores that have been simmering for centuries than to have America out of action, politically, militarily, and financially. No one ever knows for sure, but, many things do point to future events than do have a final view to end all things as we know them, in view. The truly wealthy are going to be those who can fend for themselves. Our economy is going to go bust. Super markets and easy transportation, and utilities will be a thing of the past. If “you” can fend for yourself, then “you” become the wealthy. Money is going to be food, shelter, trading goods, and not an investment portfolio.

Great clip. Just remember that one major volcanic eruption alone will have an exponentially greater impact on the climate than the effect of entire existence of human beings. I would rather be labeled a climate change denier because I am right than a climate change lunatic who does not understand science and facts.

Greg,
We are going to hell in a hand basket. We are going. Definitely. Positively going. There’s no doubt about it. The sky is going to fall and we are going to placed in a basket for the journey. The journey is going to start at anytime. There will be war. Assassinations. Burglaries ! Robberies ! Explosions and Earthquakes not seen since many decades ago. People will be screaming. Perople will be fighting in the streets for a drink of water. Noone will have any money. Women and girls will be gang raped. Men and young boys will be sodomized. Airplanes will fall out of the air. Ships will sink. Automobiles will collide and burn. Stock markets will boil over and vanish. Its going to be just horrible !

Greg, Comey is corrupt, a Clinton and Obama stooge, his leaking should land him an indictment but it won’t, he has cover from the “deep state”, watch, wait, and believe, Comey will end up retired & wealthy; Trump can’t touch him, the “deep state” is powerful & is here to stay; sorry, that is the way I see it.

Comey testified, “I woke up in the middle of the night on Monday night, ‘cause it didn’t dawn on me originally that there might be corroboration for our conversation; there might be a tape,” Mr. Comey said, “And my judgment was I needed to get that out in the public square so I asked a friend of mine to share the content of the memo with a reporter….”

I’m confused. For all the yakking about Comey, I really don’t understand that if there were tapes (probably videos) that would only confirm Comey’s story (assuming Comey was telling the truth), then what was the “it” that Comey had to get out to the public [before the tapes got out]? Wouldn’t the tapes just confirm Comey’s “memo”?

Unless, Comey thought he would lose his edge to instigate an investigation? I haven’t heard any of the 5,000 talking heads mention this so I must be missing something?

Good interview….thanks to both Gregs as always.
Whilst I do respect Greg M, for me, the saddest commentary on what our planet has degenerated to comes when Greg M says it doesn’t matter which way the market goes, he’s going to make money either way.
In my view, deliberate shorting should be banned forever.
When markets go up, people make money.
When markets go done, people lose money.
That is how it should be, and what I call “fair value”.
Making money whilst value is falling goes against nature’s basic laws.
Only human greed dictates that “whilst value is falling, I will increase my position in accordance with the fall”.
That said, I do like Greg M, and would buy him a frosty beer on a sunny day.

Mr Hunter, the future is very bright despite what Mr Mannarino thinks. Never before in the history of mankind have we had the tools available that we have now. Our prosperity is really only limited to our own conception of reality. We have algorithmic technologies that trump all potential obstacles that might pose a risk to the stability of our way of life. With blockchain and quaisdigital-analog hybrid financialization technologies, we have the world at our command. Plus there are new improved developments in other types of distributed ledger systems taking shape every day. People may say that we are in a crypto currency bubble, but they are wrong because these recent developments are just starting and are only in their infancy. We have another 30 or 40 years before we reach a market saturation point with these technologies and by that time, we have something even more advanced to replace it. Think of the possibilities ! Some unintelligent folks cant seem to see the forest through the trees. Too many people are just too old to relate similar to the ignorance of old people when it comes to the social media boom. I hope that you become more proactive in brining the value of these new technologies to light for your listeners as they are the hope of the modernized world.

GregH. and GregM.
If the ESF is thought to be putting in funds to ‘prop up’ the market…would it be unlikely it was they that dumped the tech stocks for a ‘bit o profit taking’ to bolster the reported decline in tax revenues so they can meet their own payrolls and benefits? lol

Diane, Excellent…Thank you for the link! Yes, time the people realize that the ONE BANK run the governments and not the other way around…! lol One can see why President Trump is so worrysome to so many countries in EU.https://youtu.be/DzW7YSsfKJE

Cliff High may not right right on about silver and gold,when it come to value . What he forgets it is a game about what number is printed on the money or the mortgage. In the end, numbers may be the biggest game of all

The Star Spangled Banner says, “…and the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.”
Now note: the rockets and bombs are NOT America’s…they are the enemy’s. And what did they do? They PROVED our flag was still there.
Think about that…..
America will not go down…but not because of our military might and cruelty. It will be resilient and the darkness won’t cover it.

Deanna…….
America has more “Rockets & Bombs” than ANY other nation.
Sells MORE OF THEM than ANY other nation.
Is the BIGGEST BRINGER OF DEATH to Humanity than ANY other nation.
Nothing to be proud of there, young lady…….NOTHING AT ALL.
You may not like it, but those are the facts.

I’ve expressed these sentiments before regarding Bitcoin here at this web-site, but here it is from somebody infinitely smarter than me, and with the money to back up what he says …
Via MauldinEconomics.com,

The price of Bitcoin has risen by 210% since March to over $2,900… and one of the world’s most successful investment strategists is warning investors to stay away.

Speaking at the Mauldin Economics’ Strategic Investment Conference, Raoul Pal-author and publisher of The Global Macro Investor, an elite macroeconomic and investment research service—said Bitcoin’s explosion upward is mania.

Bitcoin Is a Bubble
“The explosion [in the price of Bitcoin] is a mania. It’s people looking for a rate of return. It’s in the bubble phase. [Bitcoin] goes through this periodically… it rises several hundred percent, and then collapses.”
In December 2013, Bitcoin ran up to over $900 and subsequently collapsed to below $250… it would take three years for the price to again reach those highs.

Exponential Moves ALWAYS Blow Up…
Pal, speaking in an exclusive interview with Mauldin Economics, made ten-times his money on Bitcoin and thinks now is a good time to get out.

“This is the most exponential move we have seen. I don’t know how far it goes, but I sold out last week… and I’ve [owned Bitcoin] since it was $200. Anything that moves exponentially, always [blows up].”
However, Bitcoin’s meteoric rise isn’t the only reason The Global Macro Investor exited his position.

Only 21 Million Bitcoins? Not necessarily.
“Bitcoin was supposed to be a store of value, you couldn’t mess with the formula… and now they are talking about a ‘hard fork’ changing it?”

A feature that has attracted many investors to Bitcoin WAS its so called built-in scarcity. It’s widely thought that only 21-million Bitcoins can ever be ‘mined’ into existence.

However, senior developers and miners are now contemplating a ‘hard fork’ which would split Bitcoin in-two and allow for the creation of more Bitcoins.

“Even if they don’t change the formula, the fact that they could? That’s enough to say it’s not a long-term store of value.”
Pal says a recent development in India also changed his views on the crypto-currency.

Could “India Stack” Replace Bitcoin?
“India introduced a frictionless payment system, [something] that everyone in Bitcoin was working on… this was [Bitcoin’s] great project and India went and did it for 1.1 billion people, fifty-times faster than Bitcoin and its rolled out and working now.”
Pal is talking about “India Stack,” which will soon process more transactions than Bitcoin ever has.

India Stack allows users to open a bank account, mobile phone account, or share medical records at any hospital or clinic in India with your fingerprints or by retina scan.
In the March edition of The Global Macro Investor, Pal said of India Stack:
“This revolutionary digital infrastructure will soon be able to process billions more transactions than Bitcoin ever has. It may well be a Bitcoin killer or at best, provide the framework for how blockchain technology could be applied in the real world.”

(so all in all folks, it seems pretty obvious to me, that Bitcoin just doesn’t have all the claimed properties or attributes people before this, that they said Bitcoin had. That was quite obvious to me, even though I don’t know the ‘math’ behind block chain technology. It is digital, and digital is fake and can be hacked. It’s I’s and O’s. Bits. Gold is the real store of value, and no matter what anyone tells you about Bitcoin (and all crypto-currencies) it doe not have ALL the attributes of gold. Just my opinion, but when Bitcoin blows up this time, there is not going to be any comeback for it. Its FAR too volatile as a medium of exchange, to be any sort of payment system, is too easily replicated, as can be seen by all the new crypto’s coming on line on a near monthly basis, and it can be hacked digitally. And if you have no electric power, POOF its gone. Its non existent. That ain’t happening with physical gold, which is why its likely to be around yet another 5000 years, whether or not man-kind as a species is.)

I have read your comments about Bitcoin and they echo my and other people’s concerns. Cryptocurrencies may be here to stay but that does not mean that Bitcoin will be. I can see where other Cryptocurrencies could come along and dethrone Bitcoin.

One of the greatest of cronies, a phony baloney, is without doubt Mr. Comey. How many multitudes of people just like this self-serving hack hold positions of power in the US. The thought is a frightening prospect. However it seems that eventually everything is exposed,
but in the mean time too many people get hurt.

You CRASH COLLAPSE people are completely blind to what MUST occur in the future. The year is 2050, DOW 100k, S&P 20k, and $10T annual payments to —working aged— welfare and entitlements, annually. Another $10T annually will cover all other expenses, the scary fact is so much will be given to working aged persons and families. The economy MUST AND IS growing in size to accommodate this $20T annual federal budgets of the 2050’s. There is no crash, collapse. The central banks can and MUST tack on more zeros and keep the debt growth moving. It ain’t going to stop. The dollar is based upon a basket of other fiat currencies, they all can take turns in debt creation. REALLY, do you really expect anyone to believe that the top 10% are going to purposely crash the system? I suppose a good yarn always sells subscriptions, books, “precious” metals and prepper BS. Keep fear mongering, you have job security for as long as you can grab gullible ears. If you are betting that manufacturing and food production is going to cease just because the fed prints up another $5T, $20T, $50Trillion you just aren’t playing in reality. Fiat money is just a value, and the entire value collects and spends these values. It doesn’t matter how much diluted the whiskey becomes when the planet is a bunch of alcoholics. Keep on selling the fear.
